In her remarks, Ambassador Ureerat highlighted the role of art as a universal language to foster connections and bridge cultures. She referenced two collaborative artworks created by Thai artist Mr. Thaweesak Srithongdee (Lolay) and Singaporean artist Toby Tan (Tobyato), first unveiled in September 2024 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Thailand and Singapore. These works capture the spirit of friendship and shared Peranakan heritage through the distinctive medium of street art.
The Ambassador expressed her gratitude to Madame Salwa Elhamamsy, spouse of the Ambassador of Egypt, for initiating the exhibition. The event also featured contributions from artists representing Japan, South Korea, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Singapore, reflecting the diversity of international artistic talent.
The exhibition was recognised as a successful celebration of cultural diplomacy, strengthening ties between communities while promoting mutual appreciation through art.
